how do i put my String Silencers together?

I ordered a string silencer for my bow, and it came in two small strips
of about 35 plastic strings. how do i put it together?

If it is the kind I am thinking of, what you need to do is find yourself a fid. A fid is a long wedge of plastic which you can use to spread the strands on a bowstring. You can also make them out of a decent quality of wood, because the string's under a good deal of tension.

Once you have the string split, you slide one of the strips into the gap you've made. Then you have some options. If they are long enough (Spider style vs whisker style) then I usually do a loop around each bundle of strands with either end of the bundle of strings then pull the fid out and let the string close up again with the silencer caught in the strands. Some people will serve a little bit of a constraint top and bottom of the silencer, you can if you like. Generally I don't. Of course, this assumes a compound that you leaving strung. If you are doing it on a recurve or Long Bow you'll need the serving top and bottom to hold it in place when the bow is unstrung.

You can do this with the string off of the bow, but it is more of a pain. You have to mark the location on the string when the bow is strung and you need to run the servings to keep it in place when the bow isn't strung. However, I've done it, so it isn't impossible.

Once you've done one set of the strings at one end of the bow, you install the other set exactly the same way at the other end.
